2009-2011 vs 2012+ Front lower mesh and under spoiler

Hi all,

I've been searching for the better part of an hour trying not to find out if the front bumper mesh (the black plastic area around the foglight and the turn signals down on the lower part of the bumper) are interchangeable between 2009 and 2012 TL's? I know the lower part of the bumper (besides the beak vs non beak grill) are very similar in shape if you reference the parts diagram but am wondering if the foglight area is interchangeable.


The reason I ask is because I am looking to buy a cheap used 09-11 bumper but prefer the lower grill/foglight mesh parts and under spoiler of the 2012+ So if possible I'd like to fit the 2012 foglight mesh and under spoiler on a 2009 bumper.


Hope that was descriptive enough! Cheers

I'm going to go ahead and say that no, the fog/turn signal area is not interchangeable between model years.

Faaack. I guess if I had seen real stock pics like that I would have known. In the parts diagram you can't really tell unfortunately. Thanks !

I'm actually trying to find a similar part but without much luck. I'm looking for the same lower mesh, but for a 2009-2011 3.7 but even though I searched l, it keeps showing me the one for the 3.5 L.

Anyone know the correct part number? The bumper and part should be the same 2009-2011 3.7 L TL. The mesh part that holds the turn signal. Thanks in advance.

There's a difference in front bumper parts for the same year TL based on which engine it has?
